New HDJ 1000s?

[Bkag]

Anyone heard anything about new 1000s? I heard about the 500s but apparently the 1000s are going to get revamped also!

hopefully they improve the build quality because i went through 2 sets and both times the cable broke so that sound only came out of one ear...fail.

I was about to pick up a pair, I hear they tend to break at the joints but hopefully (maybe) the revamped ones will have a better build quality, but now for the waiting.

yeah i wouldn't be surprised if they fixed it. the ones i had were the very first versions pioneer released, so teething problems as you'd expect (hope that doesn't happen with S4

i know it is a cliche but if you can afford a bit extra i'd go with the hd25's, i finally got some 6 mo ago and they are really cool.

I have heard great things about the HD25s, I guess we will just have to wait and see

as far as I know, it's a limited edition of the current ones

Hmmm I can't figure it out, on some places it seems like it is just, as you said, new colors but others suggest they are fairly redesigned.

Pioneer HDJ-1000 Headphones Available in two new colours (black or gold), the new limited edition HDJ-1000 now offers exceptional sound quality, lightweight design and futuristic look of the widely used HDJ-1000.

The Pioneer HDJ-1000 headphones feature a thicker diaphragm (38 micrometers) and longer voice coil (1.5mm), to enable playback of low and heavy sounds, achieving high responsiveness – even with a high input. Plus, the protection resistance value in the MONO/STEREO switch has been halved, making beats and other sounds in the mid-range even easier to hear.
